You need to have it in deeper water when you're running it in a tank like that. The water pump should be submerged as it has a hard time self priming itself if it's not submerged. I have a 2021 9.9 h.p. It's being a great motor so far. 56 hours on the clock.

Motor super easy, very portable, crazy how light that is, its pretty light, def not too heavy" = moment later we see 2 guys lifting it and transporting it. Lol. I know that its heavy and cumbersome to move around odd shape 100lb of weight
@emeraldtidesoutdoors2 ай бұрын
Not at all. We were just trying to get it out of the crate and all the packaging off without scratching it. I carried it all across the yard and have moved it several times myself with minimal effort
@kpjsportsmaster16 күн бұрын
Yeah I have it too, definitely not easy to carry around at over 100lbs but manageable as long as you don’t constantly take it on and off

my 15hp 2 stroke yamaha is being replaced with one of these this week. my decision was based on the weight of the suzuki, its close to 30 pounds lighter than the new 20hp yamaha or honda.

nice new engine bet it pushs your vessel over 30 w/ just you. I think the bolts are in backwards. what type of paint are using on the hull? do you have a paint sparyer gun?I'm wanting a 20hp but will have to get a 9.9hp bc I want binnical an 25" shaft.
@emeraldtidesoutdoorsАй бұрын
Sounds nice. I used an air gun paint sprayer and total boat aluminum boat paint. It's great wherever I actually let it dry. I had to fish a tournament before the bottom had totally cured and some of it peeled off so I have to touch up some spots. If you follow the instructions it works great though

It's got a handle on the mounting bracket. It's only 100lbs so I just grab it there and let it hang or reach my other hand around to the back of it and support it there too. It's not bad to move

Just absolutely loving it. Ran out in the bay and got some good ones this morning. It's running like a champ. The only thing that irritates me is it instantly throttles down if you take your hand off the tiller, there's no slow throttling down. Probably a great safety feature, but it is mildly irritating. Love everything else about it though
